Rapid Re-Housing (RRH)

Homeless individuals and families residing in a place not meant for human habitation, residing in a shelter or hotel/motel paid by charitable organizations or federal/state/local government programs, or exiting an institution where the person has resided in 90 days or less and who was homeless at point of entry. 

Rapid Re-Housing is an intervention, that is a critical part of a community’s effective homeless crisis response system. Although Greater Opportunities, Inc. focuses its services on two counties (Broome and Chenango), this program is offered in additional counties in Upstate New York including Cortland, Delaware, Otsego, and Tioga. 

Rapid Re-Housing rapidly connects families and individuals experiencing homelessness to permanent housing through a tailored package of assistance that may include the use of time-limited financial assistance and targeted supportive services.

• Receive financial assistance in the form of security deposit and up to 6 months rent as needed
• Get supportive case management services to identify and overcome barriers to housing instability and achieving financial independence
